When you go for a battle, you dont think of what you'll do when you lose. you'll think how to make sure you win.
not really a word for word transcription, but that was roughly what the PM said in KRMF, and it really struck me.
sometimes, there's no plan B. the plan really, is just to continue believing and fighting for what you stand for. because if you dont stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

anywy, stumbled upon this lovely article by coelho. it's brilliant and i am so psyched that he've got a new book coming soon.

10sec reading: how to achieve inmortality.
When he was still a young man, Beethoven decided to compose a few improvisations on a music by Pergolesi. He devoted months to this task and finally had the courage to publish it.

A critic wrote a full page review in a German newspaper in which he launched a ferocious attack on the music.

Beethoven, however, was quite unshaken by his comments. When his friends pressed him to respond to the critic, he merely said:

‘All I need to do is to carry on with my work. If the music I compose is as good as I think it is, then it will survive that journalist. “If it has the depth I hope it has, it will survive the newspaper too. “Should that ferocious attack on what I do ever be remembered in the future, it will only serve as an example of the imbecility of critics.’

Beethoven was absolutely right. Over a hundred years later, that same review was mentioned in a radio programme in São Paulo.

this too, can be said of politics. isn't it?
